Many tributes have poured in following the loss of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, mourning their passing by sharing condolences and fond memories ... but President Donald Trump took a whole other approach, suggesting Rob would still be alive if the director had been nicer to him.

POTUS took to Truth Social to politicize the ghastly event, calling Rob a "tortured and struggling" comedy star.

Trump claimed the homicides occurred "reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS."

Karoline Leavitt can call herself whatever she wants, but it doesn't mean she's acting like a righteous woman ... so says the mother of her nephew and godson, who was detained last month.

Bruna Caroline Ferreira appeared on Erin Burnett's CNN show Friday ... and, she laid into the White House press secretary -- telling Erin she'd want to tell Karoline, "Just because you went to a Catholic school doesn't make you a good Catholic."

She added, "You are a mother now. How would you feel if you were ... in my shoes?" Karoline and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, welcomed their first child together in July 2024.

Ferreira also notes she and Michael Leavitt -- Karoline's brother -- chose KL to be her son's godmother instead of her own sister ... almost certainly deepening feelings of betrayal.

Ever wonder what President Donald Trump would look like as a pumpkin head?

Well, look no further, because the House Oversight Committee has released a picture of the Commander-in-Chief as a Halloween pumpkin head as part of the Jeffrey Epstein photo dump this past week.

As you can see, it's called a "Trumpkin" with Donald's famous blonde combover, puckered lips and slightly altered catch phrase, "Make Halloween Great Again." ut what the hell is the "Trumpkin" pic doing among the more than 90 Epstein photos already released -- many of them showing lurid images with freaky sex toys and Epstein, naked, in a bubble bath? God only knows!

Amanda Seyfried grills Sydney Sweeney about her boobs, and Syd comes clean ... Kim Kardashian is appearing on yet another screen, set to become a playable character in the popular video game "Fortnite" ... and Judi Dench says convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein has done his time. So we gotta ask …

Just when you thought the Jeffrey Epstein saga couldn't get any freakier ... the House Oversight Committee released a bunch of photos showing the late child sex predator's favorite toys, including a "Jawbreaker" ball gag, anal beads, and a weird suction cup contraption.

House Democrats released the sex toy pics Friday along with photos of Epstein hanging out with Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Steve Bannon, Woody Allen, Richard Branson, and others. One photo shows Trump and Epstein chatting with a woman ... another captures a Trump condom with "I'm HUUUUGE!" written on the packaging.

Three other pictures give a window into Epstein's spicy sexual proclivities ... one shows the terms and conditions for the use of the "Jawbreaker" ball gag, which instructs everyone to always keep an eye on people with the gag in their mouths and never leave them unattended.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a fresh batch of photos Friday sent to the committee by Jeffrey Epstein's estate ... with images featuring President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton.

Woody Allen, Bill Gates, Steve Bannon and Richard Branson are also in the trove of photos, which includes a shot of Trump-branded condoms. The lurid photo appears to show a pile of wrapped condoms with Trump's face on them and the words "I'm HUUUUGE!" written across the bottom.

In a black and white photo, Trump is seen towering over what appears to be 6 young women wearing Hawaiian leis, whose faces have been redacted. In another, a much younger Trump greets a smiling blonde woman, while Epstein appears to lead him through a crowd.

Amanda Seyfried is doubling down on her statement that Charlie Kirk was "hateful" -- a comment that followed his assassination and got her loads of backlash.

The 'Housemaid' star spoke about the outcry that followed her social media comment during an interview published by Who What Wear Wednesday -- and she refused to apologize. Standing her ground, she explained ... "I'm not f***ing apologizing for that. I mean, for f***'s sake, I commented on one thing."

She went on ... "I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes. What I said was pretty damn factual, and I'm free to have an opinion, of course."

If SZA was trying piss off the White House with her stinging jab for using her music in a pro-ICE ad, then the singer failed miserably -- because the WH loved every bit of her criticism!

First the back story … the White House posted a video to its X account Monday to promote the work of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

In the clip, you see armed ICE agents ready for combat rounding up immigrants, coupled with a caption referencing SZA’s tune, "Big Boy," which includes the lyrics "it's cuffing season." The WH's caption read ... “We heard it’s cuffing szn. Bad news for criminal illegal aliens. Great news for America.”

Conservative commentator Tim Pool says someone opened fire on his West Virginia home last week ... but, we've spoken to police, and they say they can't corroborate his story.

Here's the deal ... on Saturday, Pool wrote on X that a vehicle approached his house the previous evening and opened fire ... though he adds no one was injured in the alleged shooting.

Pool said his security was looking into the incident and would relay information to the proper authorities in due course ... before later posting, "My immediate thoughts is someone was trying to scare us. But we have a security gate and armed guards and its possible this deterred something more serious."

Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert was looking to have a fun night out with her staff at George Santos' holiday party in D.C. ... but the vibe shifted quickly when her aides got bounced at the door.

Check out the vid ... Boebert and her crew pulled up to the swanky soirée -- dubbed "Santos Claus" -- on Tuesday night, and she seems shocked when several of her staffers were blocked from entering.

Boebert tries working her charm on the gatekeeper -- Vish Burra -- while the staffers are seen awkwardly hovering behind her.

Elon Musk says fans swarming him for a selfie aren't the only reason it's nearly impossible for him to go out in public ... he told "The Katie Miller Podcast" Charlie Kirk's murder raised the stakes to life and death.

Watch the video ... Elon tells Katie, "These days -- particularly in light of Charlie Kirk's murder, there are serious security issues."

According to the world's richest man, his friend's assassination reinforced the severity of the situation, making him more reclusive. He couldn't seem to recall the last time he'd been out on a routine errand like a grocery store run or a stop at a drugstore.

"It's not that I don't want to," he said. "I simply can't."

Donald Trump went on a xenophobic attack against immigrants during a rally packed with his supporters ... singling out people from countries he harshly labels “hellholes” and “s***hole” nations.

The prez took the stage at a casino in Mount Pocono, PA ... which was meant to be laser focused on the economy, but veered into an attack on immigrants from Afghanistan, Haiti and Somalia.

Speaking to his supporters, DT says ... "I've also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration -- including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries."

Mitt Romney's sister-in-law's cause of death has been released -- she died by suicide, TMZ has learned.

The L.A. County Medical Examiner determined 64-year-old Carrie Elizabeth Romney died from blunt traumatic injuries after falling from the rooftop of a parking structure in Valencia, California, north of Los Angeles, back in October.

Carrie was in the midst of a divorce when she tragically died -- her husband, Scott, had filed back in June, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Marjorie Taylor Greene says she’s over the flood of death threats she’s been getting ever since Donald Trump branded her a "traitor" ... even asking if she’s supposed to meet the same fate as Charlie Kirk for all this to finally stop.

Speaking on CNN Tuesday morning, MTG said the threats have gotten so out of control she's counted 773 death threats so far -- some even aimed at her son. And when she brought it up to Trump, she claims he brushed her off in what she calls an "extremely unkind" way.

Marjorie says Trump showed zero sympathy -- and her other colleagues weren’t much better. She claims most didn’t respond at all ... and the only thing she got back was a half-hearted "on it" from Kash Patel.

Jimmy Kimmel is "the one who got away" for Donald Trump ... according to a joke the late-night host made at the president's expense Monday night.

As you know ... Trump has been in an ongoing battle with Kimmel, rejoicing when "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was temporarily yanked off the air, calling him "terrible."

And all this special attention got Kimmel thinking ... "He is really fixated. I'm starting to think he might have a crush on me."
